The controversial JJ Nagar Chandru murder case will be probed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Home Minister Araga Jnandendra said here on Sunday.
A row erupted between the ruling and the opposition parties over the case after the Home Minister’s statement that Chandru was murdered for failing to speak in Urdu, while the police, quoting the video-recorded statement of the prime witness, stated that the murder was due to road rage. The Home Minister later retracted his statement.
While the opposition Congress demanded action against the Home Minister, ruling Party MLC N. Ravikumar accused the city police commissioner of lying about the case.
